Ingredients
Mini Apple Pies
- 1 (14-ounce) package refrigerated dairy-free pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
- ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping
- ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tablespoons cut up cold dairy-free buttery spread or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
Vegan Vanilla Whip
- 1 cup coconut cream*
- ¼ cup powdered confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- For the Mini Apple Pies, unroll crusts on lightly floured surface. Using 3½-inch round cutter, cut out 6 rounds from each crust. Re-roll scraps as necessary. Press dough rounds into muffin pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray.
- Toss apples, brown sugar, flour, vanilla and cinnamon in large bowl. Divide evenly among crusts.
- For the Topping, mix brown sugar, flour, buttery spread or oil, and cinnamon in medium bowl until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle evenly over apple filling.
- Bake 14 to 18 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
- For the Vanilla Whipped Cream, beat coconut cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed until combined and smooth.
- Serve pies with vanilla whip for garnish.
Notes
*Whether using store-bought coconut cream or full-fat canned coconut milk, let the can settle, refrigerating if needed to help set-up, and skim 1 cup of the thickest cream from the top. Depending on the quality of the brand, you may need 2 cans. Trust me, firm coconut cream does whip up! But if it is a lesser quality that is too thin, it won't work.
